Anywayyyyyy... So I'm at the local Health Department getting my routine STD check, right? Its located right in the core of the downtown area and its a public health facility so you can imagine the types of people they get strolling through there (I'm not saying- I'M JUST SAYING). Normally I'm only there for a couple hours, I don't have health insurance so a private doctor isn't really an option, and the peace of mind I get from my routine checks makes the bullshit worth it..

When I strolled in around 11 AM/noon-ish there were already a few people in the waiting area. There were a couple of ladies with a small child and a young dude that looked to be about 25. It wasn't too bad, except for the fact that the guy was playing music on his phone- sans headphones. Do you understand me? I SAID SANS HEADPHONES! We're all couped up in this little ass waiting area sweating bullets hoping the doctor lady doesn't tell us we have herpegonasyphilaids and this mother****er is playing 2 Chainz in the presence of a toddler.

Seriously, when did that become acceptable? I mean, your phone should already be off if only for the fact that there's a big ass sign that says NO CELL PHONES right in front of your douchbag face; but you don't even have the decency of throwing in your headphones while your favorite rapper says "He loves bad bitches, that's my ****ing problem"!?!

Anyway, it was pretty annoying, but he had it at a decently low volume (it wasn't really overbearing, just a minor drone in the background) so after an hour or so I just got used to it. BUT THEEEEEEENNNN, I hear the sound of the door opening (which was partitioned off behind the wall) accompanied by some extremely loud reggaeton bullshit (that's them there Spanish folk music for all you Mid-Westerners). A second later this young kid strolls into the waiting area with his phone in hand, which was the source of the annoying ass music that I guess he thought was like his theme song or some shit.

So now we're all stuck in the room with Lil Wayne and Daddy Yankee, neither of whom are budging! I shit you not, they both continued to play their music for several minutes like nothing was happening. At that point it was a thundering cacophony the likes of which would cause Helen Keller to say "**** THIS SHIT; I'M OUT!".

... But I stuck it out 'cause I like to know I'm HIV-free, you feel me?? Luckily they called me in shortly thereafter and I was able to escape those people and their damn technology.

Sometimes shit needs to be said. And sometimes you just have to wait for these assholes to walk by you with their face in their phone and all of a sudden "oops". I'm sorry you didn't see my foot and you tripped and fell on your face.
